Answer 2

Fire And Rain
James Taylor


Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this mornin' and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you like down upon me Jesus
You gotta help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body's achin'and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walkin' my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and fine machines in pieces on the ground

Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things comin' my way this time around
Thought I'd see, thought I'd see you...

Hi,

This song was recorded by James Taylor in 1970 and is called 'Fire and Rain' - lyrics are at the end of this page.
This song is a mini-trilogy dealing with three bad times in his life. Have pasted a copied the following text for your information:

It seems to add something to the impact of a song like Fire and Rain to
know that the lyric is really a mini-trilogy dealing with three bad times in
the singer’s life. Part I goes back to a moment of sadness and a sense of
failure when he was making his first record in London in 1968. A girl he
knew died at the time, but his friends did not tell him until the record was
finished because they thought he was "too strung out" to handle the news:
I’ve seen lonely times when
I could not find a friend,
But I always thought I’d
see you again.
Part II finds Taylor bottoming out in the New York drug-scene abyss:
Won’t you look down upon
me Jesus?
You’ve got to help me make a stand,
You’ve just got to see me
through another day.
The song’s final stanza is a footnote to 1968, when James left New York
trying to escape heroin and personal squalor, and thus brought to an end The
Flying Machine, a struggling group started by his friend Danny Kootch:
There’s hours of time on the
telephone line
To talk about things to come,
Sweet dreams and flying machines
in pieces on the ground.
Taylor’s voice is mercifully free of the whiny self-pity that haunts
most singers of lovelorn pop lyrics.


'FIRE AND RAIN' - BY JAMES TAYLOR

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and i wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and i've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that i thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when i could not find a friend
But i always thought that i'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me, jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And i won't make it any other way

Oh, i've seen fire and i've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that i thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when i could not find a friend
But i always thought that i'd see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things
To come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

Oh, i've seen fire and i've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that i thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when i could not find a friend
But i always thought that i'd see you, baby, one more time again, now

Thought i'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought i'd see you, thought i'd see you fire and rain, now
